PCOS and hypothyroidism



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am new to all of this (Just starting out with all of the appts and all to get ready for surgery.

I was just wondering if anyone has a problem with both pcos and hypothyroidism and how the symptoms of both of them together have done after surgery.

Thanks in advance

I am very curious to this as well. I have had a hypoactive thyroid since I was 7 and was diagnosed with PCOS in 2014. My surgery is coming up on June 30th and my greatest fear is any weight gain after the initial weight loss starts to balance out.

I asked a similar question awhile back. I don't have hypothyroidism but I do have PCOS. Here is a link to the post I made so you can see some of the comments: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/367378-pcos-success-stories/

I have had my thyroid problem since about that age as well and found out I have pcos when I was 14.

I also have PCOS and I'm being tested for thyroid conditions because of my lack of energy despite losing 60+ lbs.

My PCOS conditions have improved significantly. Cycles are regular (even on the Mirena IUD). My unwanted hair growth as slowed, I would have to shave 2x a day and now can get by with one. Oh the joys.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
